World wide web

#1 #2 and #3
Not a day goes by without my cursing the computer and threatening to give it up, but the advantages more than outweigh the disadvantages. By a million to one.

I've been using email and Skype for years, and have a Facebook account which I seldom use, but am new to most forms of social media. Imagine my surprise and delight last night when I happened upon Georges in Burkina Faso, and we typed in both French and English and he sent me this pic of his little daughter, Grace:
Did you ever see such a cute little bundle!

Then I got this email from France, showing Jacky (wearing the scarf I sent her by snailmail when her husband died), with one of her sons and grandchildren in Brittany recently. Jacky and I started as penfriends when we were in high school, and Philip and I lived with her and her family in the 70s while I was getting my divorce in Versailles:

A couple of days ago, Finland was voted the Happiest Country in the World. I have friends living there, in Lapland, and pinched this photo from their Facebook page. Thanks, Scott:

I'm just showing off - getting these pics in can somtimes involve dozens of clicks + advice from Lina. This morning I managed to get three, so am on top of the world with my own cleverness :-)) Michael, I'm sure you will be proud of me.
